West Ham vs Bournemouth – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

A high-stakes clash awaits at the London Stadium this evening as West Ham United look to ignite their survival bid against a surging Bournemouth side.

The Hammers enter the 27th round in 18th place, three points adrift of safety, following a defiant 1–1 draw with Manchester United, where they snatched a point late on to deny the Red Devils a victory. Despite their position, Nuno Espírito Santo has masterminded a recent upswing, securing 10 points from the last 15 available in the league.

Conversely, Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth are the division’s in-form team, enjoying a six-match unbeaten run that has propelled them into the top half of the table. With the Cherries harbouring hopes of a European push and the Hammers fighting for survival, this encounter carries massive implications for both ends of the table.

Team News

West Ham United

The Hammers are boosted by the return of Jean-Clair Todibo, who is available after serving a three-match suspension. However, Nuno Espírito Santo may persist with the centre-back pairing of Axel Disasi and Konstantinos Mavropanos following their solid recent outings. Midfielder Freddie Potts begins a three-match ban, potentially opening the door for Soungoutou Magassa. Forward Pablo Felipe remains sidelined with a calf injury.

Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola faces a late decision on the fitness of Marcus Tavernier, who has returned to training after a hamstring injury. The Cherries have received a significant boost with Tyler Adams and David Brooks declared fit and ready for selection. Bournemouth report no new injury concerns following their recent unbeaten run.

Form

West Ham United

West Ham have picked up 42% of their total Premier League points this season across their last five games (W3, D1, L1). While their overall home record has been a source of nerves—earning just 11 points at the London Stadium all season—they have lost only one of their last four home league fixtures. Crysencio Summerville remains a key threat, having scored six goals in his last seven appearances.

Bournemouth

No team has won more than Bournemouth’s four Premier League matches in the current calendar year. Notably, the Cherries have been incredibly consistent against lower-ranked opposition, losing only one league game to any side starting this round below them (W7, D6). Although they are unbeaten in their last four away league fixtures, they have won just once in London this campaign.

Predicted Lineups

West Ham United Predicted XI: Hermansen; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf; Magassa, Fernandes; Bowen, Soucek, Summerville; Castellanos

Bournemouth Predicted XI: Petrovic; Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert; Christie, Scott; Rayan, Toth, Adli; Evanilson
